Decade - 1990s

We started the decade in Camelot with the election of JFK, but soon we were in the cold war and the Cuban missile crises. The Beatles wanted to hold your hand, but the Animals wanted you off of their cloud. Chubby Checker was singing the Peppermint twist and the beehive was the rage. Soon Vietnam became a household word and our boys were going as "advisers to stop communist aggression". Martin Luther King was the voice of the civil rights movement and the civil rights act was passed. The music died in Dallas when JFK was shot by Oswald and Mrs. Kennedy stood in her pink bloody suit to watch LBJ take the place of her husband. LBJ decided to expand the war in Vietnam and sent more boys. Soon we were watching the war on our evening news. Because people could see what war was really like protests began against the war and to get us out of Vietnam. It seemed that the world was on fire. The draft began, more protests, and Robert Kennedy and MLK were shot in the summer of 1968. Chicago was on fire from the protests of the Democratic Convention and the birth control pill was the rage. The sexual revolution was on. It was the Age of Aquarius and the summer of love. Time to tune in and drop out. Put a bumper sticker on the car and tell others what you thought. Peace Man. We went to the moon and came back and realized that we were a blue planet in black space. Some found their own "space" and came home "spaced" out. Nixon ran for President and then froze the world.

Another point of view!!

The 60's, part of what happened in the 1960's was called the sexual revolution. Birth control, historically frowned on by the Catholic church was widely used and women found a freedom never before experienced. Rock and Roll was alive and growing more and more in popularity. Because of the war raging in Vietnam the generation coming of age had a motto, "Live for now, for tomorrow we could all be dead" and that war became the focal point of a generation dedicated to peace and love. Peace rallies were the norm, sit-ins became fashionable and racial equality marches were common. Flower Power was not just a phrase, it was the beginning of changes all over the world. These were by no means the only things that happened during the decade but Vietnam was still on and for many the world was never the same, but it was a great time!!!

The Truth in Savings Act is a United States federal law that was passed on December 19, 1991. It was part of the larger Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 and is implemented by Regulation DD. It established uniformity in the disclosure of terms and conditions regarding interest and fees when giving out information on or opening a new savings account. On passing this law, the US Congress noted that it would help promote economic stability, competition between depository institutions, and allow the consumer to make informed decisions.

The Truth in Savings Act requires the clear and uniform disclosure of rates of interest and the fees that are associated with the account so that the consumer is able to make a meaningful comparison between potential accounts. For example, a customer opening a certificate of deposit account must be provided with information about ladder rates and penalty fees for early withdrawal of a portion or all of the funds.

The Act is only applicable to deposit accounts that are held by a "natural person" for personal, household, or family use. Accounts owned by businesses or organizations such as churches and neighborhood associations are not subject to these rules.

The term is "Ethnic Cleansing"
